A CD appeared in the mail today. A while back I helped the folks at Third Ear JPN Ltd. with licensing for the image from the Computer Space flyer on coinop.org – which worked out nicely.

Nutting Associates has been defunct since 1973/1976 depending on who you talk to, and I am fairly sure that Bill Nutting passed away in July of 2008 (RIP) so Nolan Bushnell was contacted directly. Nolan was the founder of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese, and was half owner of Nutting Associates, producers of Computer Space. He happens to be a cool guy and gave permission himself, who knows how that all works legally, but hey it sounds good. The result is this fine looking CD cover:

8bit Project - Spicy Innovator vs Superior Marionette (2009)

Now that’s a fine looking CD cover. If you’re into the whole 8bit music scene, check it out. It was released in Japan on April 29th, 2009. If you want to obtain it, you can do that on Amazon.co.jp. It’s 8bit, and it’s mono. Enjoy!
